Sonestown, Pennsylvania

Sonestown is a former unincorporated village in what is now Davidson Township, Sullivan County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

[1] In 1843, George Sones built a sawmill and founded Sonestown, an unincorporated village within what is now Davidson Township in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania.

During the late nineteenth century, Sonestown "boomed like crazy"[4] as the county's lumber industry grew.

The village was home, at that time, to a plant that manufactured staves for barrel making.

As of 1996, Sonestown had a population of roughly two hundred; most commuted to work in Muncy, Montoursville, and Williamsport.
